This Week in F-Droid

TWIF curated on Friday, 19 Sep 2025, Week 38

Community News

aFreeRDP was updated to 3.17.1 but you should skip this update since it keeps on crashing. A fixed update is being tested right now, stay tuned!

Element X - Secure Chat & Call was updated to 25.09.1 bringing room version 12 support to F-Droid and much more since the last June update.

Fennec F-Droid was updated to 142.0.1 fixing the painful start bug.

If you don’t use Fennec, well… you gotta try it!

But if you’re stuck with the Yandex or Samsung Internet browsers, then maybe you should install AdGuard Content Blocker, which has been updated to 2.8.0 after a 5 year long pause, and clean up all those ads.

@linsui waits for the clouds to go:

Breezy Weather was updated to 6.0.11-rc_freenet. Still an ‘unstable’ version so users won’t get this by default. But if you want to have a try, update to this version manually. There are lots of updates, including Material Design 3 Expressive!

Spotube was updated to 5.0.0 after a bit of a hiatus. The app was in a non-working state for a long time due to legal and other issues. Well, we are happy to report that Spotube is officially back. The list of fixes and features is huge, so make sure you take a glimpse and explore what’s new.

@shuvashish76 activates the API:

Torrent Search was updated to 0.4.2 adding fixes and whatever “Torznab API” is. For those that know, carry on, for the rest read on.

Thore Göbel bumps memory protection to 11:

This post is an introduction into Arm Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE), a hardware-based defense against memory safety vulnerabilities. Arm MTE is available in Google Pixel 8 devices (released 2023) and in iPhone 17 devices (released 2025).

The focus of this post is on explaining the high-level ideas, why MTE is important, and how developers can enable MTE in their Android and iOS apps.

Sit down and read this 13+ minutes long “introduction to Arm Memory Tagging Extensions” blog post to know how to enable Arm Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) for your Android and iOS apps.

Wait, that’s like an one-liner? Wow, let me quickly toggle it on for my favorite app.
